I attempted to tear down the entire front axle yesterday afternoon. I got the pass side knuckle assy disassembled and the birfield is pretty thrashed. This birfield is the stronger one, I forget the name. How much is it to buy replacements and who sells them again? I want to say (bobby longfields?) but I want to be sure. All I know is that it’s gonna be more coin to get these axles in like new shape.
I ran into a problem on the driver’s side. The bottom brake caliper bolt is inaccessible. The calipers are different, they say SSBC on the sides of them and they are bigger than stock ones. The caliper body actually blocks me from getting a socket or wrench around the actual bolt. How the F**k do I get the bolt out without wrecking the thread in the knuckle housing? Any ideas on this one? I will be taking pictures after work today to show my current debacle. Anyone have more information on these SSBC brakes? I want to get replacement pads for them.
Once I get both inner axles out and knuckles apart does the 3rd member just pull straight out? For reference there is an ARB locker in there.
